Columbia Man Charged in Arundel Mills Carjacking

A Columbia man has been charged with carjacking, robbery, assault and motor vehicle theft in connection with an incident at Arundel Mills Friday night, the Anne Arundel County Police Department said.

Police said Isaiah Perry, 29, of the 5600 block of High Tor Hill in Columbia, asked a woman for money as she was standing next to her vehicle in the 7000 block of Arundel Mills Circle—and when she said she didn't have any, he pushed her inside the car.

A struggle ensued and the woman was able to get out of the vehicle, according to the report. The suspect drove off in her car, which was equipped with a LoJack tracking device, police said.

At approximately 10 p.m., the victim—a 36-year-old woman from Glen Burnie—called police, who partnered with mall security to identify the suspect using surveillance footage, according to the report.

Officials from the Howard County Police Department helped find the vehicle, and police from Anne Arundel and Howard arrested Perry at his home without incident, the report stated.

"This case highlights the collaborative efforts of law enforcement partnerships and state-of-the-art security and surveillance," Anne Arundel County Police Chief Kevin Davis said.

Davis added: "This is yet another quick case closure as well as a notice to bad guys that we work together to come after you quickly if you commit crime in Anne Arundel County."
